JJJack Posted June 8, 2014 Share Posted June 8, 2014 (edited) Price drop to £700 Reluctantly my Jazz for sale. Colour Ivory (549) R/W fretboard Serial No. E302014 The previous owner has undertaken some modifications such as replacing the one piece scratchplate and replacing the pickups with EMGs ( small area routed under scratchplate). I subsequently changed the pickups to Bartolinis which I prefer. Bridge is fender but not original 1983. I bought this bass in ~1990 and think I am the third owner from new. Minor dings on the lower edges of the body but no buckle rash. Neck clean. Good condition for a 30 year old. Plays and sounds great. I don't have scales but it feels quite light to me compared to my other Fender (precision '72) I have read on this site that these basses are highly regarded but sadly it's got to go.

petergales Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 I have an 83 Jazz in Ivory, too, and it's a cracking bass! It's got 70's pick up spacing that gives it that distinctive sound. I paid a lot more for mine. Good luck with the sale! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hutton Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 A 1983 USA Standard Jazz for £750 is a great price. Without the mods £900, or even a bit more, would have been a spot on price. This is a great buy for someone. BTW from what publication is the page on early 80s USA Standard basses? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJJack Posted February 6, 2015 Author Share Posted February 6, 2015 Hutton it's from the Fender Bass by Klaus Blasquiz. ISBN 0-7935-0757-X. I honestly thought the bass would be snapped up quickly but I guess austerity UK affects us all. Jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

timtims96 Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 Would you be up for trading for a Lakland Skyline Daryl Jones 5? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJJack Posted May 19, 2015 Author Share Posted May 19, 2015 Timtims No guitar trades, I must offload basses. (This must seem like sacrilege but I'm in a financial/job pickle). Jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ead Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 Just a thought, but it might be helpful to say where you are based for BCers wanting to try the bass out. Not uninterested myself tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJJack Posted May 20, 2015 Author Share Posted May 20, 2015 Thanks for the tip Ead, I live in Dorset and would be happy to drive ~2 hours if someone is interested. I do believe that you should try before you buy. Jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
